    Enemies Occupy the Holy Land

    @Wrangler ...your question, 'why was Israel called the land of milk and honey?' It was called the 'land of milk and honey', because God had blessed the land presided over by its inhabitants prior to the Hebrews taking possession of it. Consider the cluster of grapes carried back by the twelve...

    Enemies Occupy the Holy Land

    The term' Holy Land' is an imposition men of shrunken and biased mental capacity have given a stretch of geography on God's Planet. We need be mindful of what we are saying so that we do not parrot the language of 'cults' and assume that which is the imagination of those with unhealthy agendas.

    WWJD with LGBTQ?

    I see you have seen a certain Jesus, John, perhaps the Jesus of popular theology but what is definitely clear is you haven't seen Jesus of Nazareth. The Jesus who forgives even when he is not asked to, the Jesus who raises the dead who can't ask, the Jesus who is compassionate to fellows...

    Where is the real abomination? - The context of Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13

    Where is the real abomination? - The context of Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13 The (real) Abomination is misrepresenting God. This misrepresentation reaches its high point when it attributes to God the attitudes/ activity and practices of Satan clothed in the garment of Piety. Paul...

    WWJD with LGBTQ?

    Ever wondered what the selected Hebrew spies were doing at Rehab's place. Why go there? Was it a cup of coffee or to get a language lesson? .......or were there other urges? I think glorifying or demonising people ensures we loose a healthy perspective.

    WWJD with LGBTQ?

    Being a sinner Ziggy, is by God's definition Mental illness. It has difficulty joining the dots well; it prioritises the minor over the major; it assumes 'common sense' is the right measure. The Inuit assumed letting a favoured visitor sleep with his wife, as the right thing to do. Killing your...

    WWJD with LGBTQ?

    It would depend on how it manifests. It could be of a sexual nature, it could be of an emotional/ psychological nature or a physical nature. If you were homosexual of some sorts which by the way I am not, I would not treat you any differently to any other person. I would definitely not condemn...

    WWJD with LGBTQ?

    Homosexuality has many shades of grey. It is shortsighted to tar everyone with the same brush. Dysfunction runs through humanity in all forms. People born with deformed limbs or co-joined, even being sexually mixed like hermaphrodites are all forms of physical dysfunction in the human make up...

    I hate women in the locker room. I hate women explaining men's sporting games. But mostly I hate

    Seeing beyond one's own stereotypes and being able to empathise with those who have different ones is a step towards maturity.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I find your interpretation that the Woman in Rev. 12 is Mary, wanting. These visions John has of both Women are metaphors. I would see them representative as two opposing sides/ views of a global conflict.....one which ultimately have to do with how the character of God is seen. One side see's...

    Psalms 83 unfolding

    Not sure if you will understand this but understanding is determined by HOW (caps, highlighted and underlined) one reads/ hears/ sees. It appears to me that you only perceive one particular way of hearing/ seeing. With this assumption you interpret. An interesting exercise is looking at the...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Where does the Pope get his authority? Donald Trump? no? The last Trump? no? The second Trump? no? Maybe it's all Trumped up? ...in any case it appears he's going to do some Trumping of sorts?

    Psalms 83 unfolding

    2 Corinthians 5:18-19 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.

    Psalms 83 unfolding

    Your theology is leading your conclusions about what God will do...even in the face of how God (Jesus) responded to those murdering him. Surely that must tell you that something is amiss with your theology?
